"Don't Come Near! You'll Catch a Cold!"

December can be a very cold time of the year,
it's when sickness drops by here and there.
I unfortunately caught the annoying cold
and all day on my bed I rolled.
Due to my condition, I was out of school for a week.
Isn't it hard to believe my cold made me that weak?
For days and days I would cough and cough.
Then my mother decided it was time to send this cough off.
The next day we went to the doctor to fix it up,
and she said I wasn't healing because my medicine wasn't strong enough.
The doctor checked my symptoms and condition
and prescribed me a stronger medication.
I took the new medicine for a week straight,
in hopes of healing at a faster rate.
I finally healed another week later

but then I had piles of schoolwork to make up for after! :(

My Goal in AP Calculus!

This is my first year taking AP Calc.

It stands for calculus, can’t you tell?

I knew it would be a challenge from the start,

There are limits, derivatives, and graphs that you need to tell apart.

The class wasn't too difficult in the beginning

But then the first test came and my heart started panicking.

I got an A- on the test, not a bad start,

But I wanted to do better, for my mom thinks I’m smart.

The days passed, and the end of the marking period was drawing nearer.

We had more and more test as they got harder and harder.

I wanted at least one 100 before it was too late.

 Then the last week came around along with the due date

For all of the final grades to be put in.

Oh my, I had wondered when my luck would begin.

As if to answer my thought, Mrs. Aivars set up another test,

And I promised to myself I would do my very best.

My only goal was a perfect paper,

And I would not accept anything lower.

I studied all day and night for this upcoming exam,

Trying to remember everything while I cram.

The test day came, and I felt nervous inside.

My nerves kept eating at me the whole time.

She handed out the test as my heart shook.

I glanced at the questions and took a quick look.

The period passed, and I finally finished.

Thankfully, my nerves diminished.

By the next week, she had already finished grading,

And oh how my fears were invading.

She handed mine back, and I was hesitant to look

For there was no changing this because it was already in the grade book.

I turned over the paper and then I see,

An A+ on the paper. Hooray! Finally! 

There's a New Teacher!

September flew by and October finally arrived.
My birthday passed and I was thankful for the years I have survived.
The month continued, and it carried surprising news.
One of my teachers was leaving, and the students had to say their adieus.
To my surprise, dun dun dun, it was my AP Physics teacher.
She is a very nice instructor, and you could not find any one kinder.
She found a position in another high school
and she was worried she would make the new students sleep and drool.
She left around October's third week,
and my classmates and I hoped the new teacher would not be a freak.
The new teacher turned out to be an older man.
"My name is Mr. Fowler," said he, as his introduction began.
He was a very gentle and kindhearted fellow.
He would smile every time and was very mellow.
Along with my two other classmates, we all really like Mr. Fowler.
We are excited for the rest of the school year, and we wish it would go faster!

Changing My Schedule!

The school year started with brand new classes
which reminds me, I have to get different glasses.
My schedule seemed okay at first,
but I realized a problem as my friend and I conversed.
AP Physics was not my roster!
So I pondered the matter while I was at my locker.
I requested the guidance counselor for a change in my schedule.
She quickly promised that she'll fix it, for these problems were usual. 
As she investigated the situation even further, 
she stated that the problem became a little bit harder. 
In order to switch, I had to drop AP Statistics,
and then make the change into AP Physics.
I paused as I sat there for a moment
for I did not know which choice would be of better judgement. 
After a few minutes, I made a decision. 
AP Physics became my agenda's new addition.
